Meditation technique to awaken the Ajna chakra – the third eye center

Seeing through the eye, you can achieve the ‘I’. If you see through the eyes, you will wake up from it and see reality as it is!

Meditation techniques

1. Remember the seer

T here are two steps.

Remember who the seer is. When you open the eyes, understand that you are seeing through the eyes. You are not seeing. Then suddenly you will see that your whole energy is centered in the ajna chakra* or brow center between the two eyes. You will see things more clearly, in more detail like how you see things as fresh after it rains. Then you will have neither attachment nor detachment, you will not have any suffering.

when you realize that what you think as reality now is only a dream, you will have the energy and intelligence to alter it!

For example, sometimes in your sleep, you know you are dreaming but you don’t come out of the dream. In that state, you can see that your dreams are clearer and you can even alter the dream. In the same way when you realize that what you think as reality now is only a dream, you will have the energy and intelligence to alter it! When the frequency of your consciousness rises, you will get the intelligence to realize that it is only a dream and so there is no need to change it.

2. Visualization

Try to feel the life in everything that is around you

This technique can be practiced any time. Feel the cosmos as a translucent, ever-living presence. Try to feel the life in everything that is around you. Try to see it. Try to feel it. First, try to feel the life inside your body. Then try to feel the life inside the chair on which you are sitting. See how you are feeling alive inside your skin. In the same way, visualize and feel you are alive inside the chair, inside the cushion. Then visualize you are alive inside the people who are sitting next to you.

Let me give you an example. Let’s say that you put a bamboo stick in a river. Now you can see a part of the river on the left of the bamboo and another part to the right of the bamboo. But does it mean the river has now been divided into two parts? No! If the bamboo is taken away, there is no right side or left side anymore. There is no boundary. It is just one river, that’s all.

Because of your ego, you say ‘I’ and ‘you’.

Life is just like the river. The bamboo is your ego. Because of your ego, you say ‘I’ and ‘you’. You have two sides – you and the world. You see duality because of that bamboo. If you just take the bamboo of your ego away, there is neither ‘I’ nor ‘you’. It is pure ever-living presence.

..you may find that the master’s form is replaced by a beam of light.

During this meditation, you may see visions of your favorite deities, or you may find that the master’s form is replaced by a beam of light. Sometimes you may see total emptiness where his picture was. Don’t be alarmed or lose your awareness at these moments. It is not hypnosis! In fact, it is a dehypnotizing process. Your superconscious is being awakened. If you see only light or emptiness, it is a sign that you have done the meditation with deep sincerity. That is the truth of our nature that we are all nothing but energy.

Seeing through the eye, you can achieve the ‘I’. Currently, you are making up your own reality. If you see through the eyes, you will wake up from it and see reality as it is!
